5.0 out of 5 stars
Handy dictionary of mathematics,

This review is from: Dictionary of Mathematics Terms (Barron's Professional Guides) (Vinyl Bound)
I am an undergraduate engineering student, and I use this dictionary often. The entries vary in length from a sentence to a few pages. The explanations are well-written and understandable. All in all, a useful reference.

Concise, fluid easily readable reference for students,

This review is from: Dictionary of Mathematics Terms (Barron's Professional Guides) (Vinyl Bound)
A great bridge between a sometimes confusing text presentation and conceptual understanding. I will recommend Barron's as a must for my Algebra 1,2 and Honors students. Barron's is a valuable supplement for any secondary or post secondary mathematics program, keep it by your side.

This book is great at first...
and then you look for something you *don't* already know. I've found a few nifty formulas and shortcuts in here, but I'm a junior and a BC Calc. student, and I must say that I don't see this book coming with me to college. It lacks lots of rules, tricks, and mainly lacks DEPTH. If I look something up to see its properties and not the definition it always ends up being some one-sentence blurb. Things completely missing: Descartes' rule of signs, the rule of 72, golden ratio (holy crap!), and others that I can't think of at the moment... Things I'm *pretty sure* are missing (could be under many def.s): angle of intersecting lines (arctan((slope1-slope2)/(1+(slope1*slope2))), degree of a multivariable polynomial (yes, I've needed to know this), right hand rules(!!!), signum, "smooth" lines, identity OR explanation of 0! ((zero)!), integral of factorial (int(((x^k)*(e^-x))dx,0 to infinity)), I don't think I can find "Test Statistic" in a formula... So: If you plan on maybe sorta kinda taking AB Calc. eventually, this is an ok book. If you need to know things like identities (weird, but useful ones), properties, or explanations beyond "This is what it is," then, look further. I consider myself an "avid" programmer, both on the TI89 and in C/C++, and I often find the need for things that *should* be in here, but aren't. It's... Ok.
